Yes, it says it’s false. Here’s the pertinent line:

identifies whether they may be impaired and prevents or limits motor vehicle operation “if an impairment is detected.”

That’s called a killswitch.

On the law itself, it’s Section 24220 - b - 1 - a - ii AND 24220 - b - 1 - b - ii

Just a reminder that fact checkers blatantly lie, and will even tell you they’re lying. It takes like two minutes to fact check laws like this.

    But that’s not the context of the article/why they said it was false:

    “Beginning 2026, a kill switch will be a mandatory feature on vehicles,” reads the tweet. “The device allows the government, the police, and car makers to disable your car from the comfort of their offices. Reminder - 18 GOP voted for this bill.”

      The headline lies. Correct me if I’m wrong, but its a motte and bailey.

        By the definition of the above tweet (which is what the article is talking about) there is no kill switch.
